Testimonial

“It was hard work getting the various projects completed by the end of the year and indeed there was no one more surprised than myself to see what could be accomplished. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and it is a great opportunity for the student to develop their practical talents. Having got a taste for learning,I enrolled in the FETAC Level 5 Business Administration which I completed in 2011 and last year I progressed to FETAC Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Business which I have just completed.” Carmel McManus Skills 2009/2010
